Cr Taylor said Variable Message Signs would be in place to assist motorists during the works.

"Drivers are urged to obey signage and the directions of traffic controllers for their own safety and the safety of construction workers. Work on both those days will be carried out from 6am to 6pm, weather permitting," she said.

"Council will seek to minimise disruptions where possible and would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation during the works.

"The section of Neil St from Russell St to Herries St is expected to be switched over to two-way traffic by mid-June 2016."
